By using the substitution x = tan(u), find the integral of [1 / (x^2+1) dx] between the limits 1 and 0

First we need to change the limits, and by plugging in 1 and 0 to our substitution we find that the limits for u are arctan(1) and arctan(0) (or pi/4 and 0). Then we need to substitute for dx, and by diff...

The mass of a substance is increasing exponentially. Initially its mass is 37.5g, 5 months later its mass is 52g. What is its mass 9 months after the initial value to 2 d.p?

M=37.5ekt 52=37.5ek5 52/37.5=e5k ln(52/37.5)=5k (1/5)(ln(52/37.5))=k k≈0.06538 when t=9, M=37.5e9*0.06538 M=67.54

What is the integral of x^(3)e^(x) with respect to x?

This question is looking at integration by parts. Therefore, we need to split the integral into two parts.

Part A will be x3 and Part B will be ex .

How do I break down (x-2)/((x+1)(x-1)^2) into partial fractions?

Firstly, let (x-2)/((x+1)(x-1)2) = A/(x+1) + B/(x-1)+C/(x-1)2, where A,B and C are to be calculated. 

Then, multiply both sides of the equation by (x+1)(x-1)2<...

A curve C has the equation x^3 + 2xy- x - y^3 -20 = 0. Find dy/dx in terms of x and y.

Every term needs to be differentiated in terms of x:

For the x3 term, differentiated it becomes 3x2 (multiply the whole term by the initial p...
